I can see companies with few patents in a
field that end getting one or two of there
patents as SEP. Then they get together
with other companies with a few and/or are
implementers and create a patent pool
where the royalties are tiny. Then when
going to negotiate with the other SEP
holders they say same rate as the patent
pool or we sue you like Microsoft and get
it...

The problem with your idea is that cross-licensing is a part of the context that
is different for each and every negotiation. That's why you can't say "ANY
context", because every single context is wildly different.
